This is a story about an open-relationship between an unwilling prostitute and a married man. 


He was in an open marriage, but she's not the wife. To be one of the many partners of a man committed to another woman was her role. 


She wanted to hide her feelings that were starting to grow, her longing to be by his side, and lastly herself, by virtue of an open relationship. 


However, it was all for naught. When everything came to light, she desired to end the relationship they had. Her last words echoed through his mind as she bid him farewell through her mournful eyes. 


"If only I hadn't met you, I wouldn't be hurting this badly."

Syn then took a sip of her coffee that was already cold. She only drank caffeinated beverages once in a while because of her doctor's advice. The lady missed the familiar bitter taste of a milkless cup of four shots of espresso.

As the liquid glided down her throat, she felt her hands begin to quiver. She immediately put them on her lap and straightened her body. Syn looked at her uncle, her eyes the model of detachment.

"You're aware of how cruel they can be. I am no masochist to tolerate their behaviour."
